Chapter 443: Chapter 443 – Why Do I Have Such Feelings For Him_1

Feeling a burning gaze on her, Wei Ruo turned around.

Her eyes met Chu Lan’s handsome face, which had a hint of coldness and pride in it.

He wore a dark blue brocade robe, his waist adorned with a white jade belt, his posture erect and dignified, exuding an air of aloofness.

As their eyes met, Wei Ruo’s face grew slightly colder.

She knew that she might run into acquaintances in Capital City, but she didn’t expect to meet one so soon, and it was Chu Lan, the person she least wanted to see.

Capital City is huge, and Chu Lan, a person of esteemed status busy with numerous tasks, is not easy to run into.

But just as fate would have it, the one person she least expected to run into on the streets was the person she did.

As Wei Ruo was pondering this, Chu Lan started walking towards her.

“You’re in the Capital City?” Chu Lan asked in a deep voice.

“Yes,” replied Wei Ruo curtly, quickly turning her head away.

Yet Chu Lan’s gaze remained fixed on Wei Ruo. Despite her coldness and avoidance, his happiness was hard to hide.

“I wonder if you could afford an opportunity to dine with me as my guest?” Chu Lan queried.

“I’m an ordinary person. You, on the other hand, are of esteemed status. I fear it might be inappropriate,” said Wei Ruo.

“In that case, consider it a command of mine, is that permissible?” proposed Chu Lan.

Having another chance to meet again was rare, and he didn’t want to miss it again.

Noticing Chu Lan’s determined expression, Wei Ruo pondered for a moment, realizing there was no escaping this time, and consequently asked, “Could you wait for me? I have a few things to attend to.”

“Okay,” Chu Lan agreed.

Wei Ruo went upstairs with the waiter, and Chu Lan did not follow.

“Aren’t you afraid that they’ll run away?” Lu Yuhong teased Chu Lan.

“If they agreed, they won’t run,” Chu Lan confidently stated.

“Suit yourself, it’s not me who’s eager to see them anyway. If they truly run off, it won’t be me who’ll be upset.” Lu Yuhong shrugged indifferently.

“Shouldn’t you be picking up your medicine?” Chu Lan retorted.

“Oh, right!”

Lu Yuhong quickly took out the prescription and requested the pharmacy assistant to prepare the medicines.

After collecting the medicine, Lu Yuhong planned to keep Chu Lan company as he waited, but Chu Lan dismissed him, “Your master must be waiting for this medicine. You should deliver it to him first.”

“Alright, fine.” Even someone as obtuse as Lu Yuhong could tell that Chu Lan didn’t want him to stay any longer. It would be better for him to take his leave graciously.

After Lu Yuhong left, Wei Ruo and Xiumei descended from the second floor.

Chu Lan invited Wei Ruo to Tianyun Pavilion, booked a private room, and ordered a table full of exquisite dishes.

The last time Wei Ruo came here, it was with Wei Jinyi. They had a leisurely chat and had a good time.

Now, although she was still at the same place, the person by her side had changed, and Wei Ruo’s mood was far from the same as well.

“I thought there was no chance in this lifetime to see you again. I didn’t expect that you’d come to Capital City.” Chu Lan said, a broad grin appearing unconsciously on his face, his gaze as soft as ever.

These days, he had constantly felt as if something was missing from his life, but he could never quite figure out what it was.

It wasn’t until he met Xu Heyou today that he realised it was him who he was missing.

Upon seeing Xu Heyou, his mood had inexplicably improved.
